      Wow thank you Heather you are so kind.
      When you get your orbeez and you finished with them for the day drop them into a glass jar and put the lid on. This will keep them for weeks 😉
      Also Tey getting one and brake it up into small pieces. I have taken some nice shots this way 👍👍👍👍

    Hello Lee, I think this might interest and amuse you, have you tried placing clear Orbeez on top of the little light turntable, gives amazing light diffraction, put cling film over to hold them in place, turn the turntable on it's side and you have a light projector for coloured backgrounds.

    Great video as per. I noticed the tubes used were auto focusing ones (you can see the contact points at the edges of the tubes). To cut corners a bit more, get the manual tubes instead, you're only going to put the lens on manual focus anyway.
